Hello!

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation to see what it equals. 

As you can see, 2.7 is added. To get it onto the other side and cancel it from the one side, you will subtract it from both sides as shown below. Note that because of the commutative property, we can switch the places of 2.7 and x.

x+2.7-2.7=17-2.7  (Note that 2.7=2.7 is 0 in this equation.
x=14.3

Our solution is x=14.3

I hope this helped you learn how to solve equations a bit better!

At your school, the building is 20 feet tall, a tree's height is 252 inches, and the flagpole is 6 yards high. Which of the thre
timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

How well can you apply Boyle’s law to this sample of gas that experiences changes in pressure and volume? Assume that temperatur
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A = 1.0 L

B = 0.50 atm

C = 0.60 atm

D = 4.0 L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Boyle's law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. If we consider an initial state (1) and a final state (2):

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

A

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = 3.0 atm × A

A = 1.0 L

B

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = B × 6.0 L

B = 0.50 atm

C

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = C × 5.0 L

C = 0.60 atm

D

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = 0.75 atm × D

D = 4.0 L

Find the value of k such that lim-->4 (x^2+x-k)/(x-4) exists
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

k=20

Step-by-step explanation:

when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0

if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid

if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit

so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4

so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4

4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20
